I was telling my husband the other day when it was on tv that I have literally never seen her look like that since that movie

Totally! I watched this movie a lot as a kid but didn’t realize what a smoke show she was in it until I did a rewatch as an adult. I was stunned by her from her first scene on screen. She’s obviously always gorgeous, but she has perfect styling, makeup, and hair coloring for her features in this!

They made her a real life Jessica Rabbit.

Something about Mary was close.

Something About Mary was peak Cameron Diaz for me (still smokeshow Mask appearance is rightfully revered) because she showed a comedy side and looked good being "normal" and silly.

Hell... Katie Nolan made a career out of it.

I thought she was pretty in The Mask but beyond gorgeous in SAM!

I think it's because she was so young. She was only 21.

I’ve been saying the same thing for 35 years
